After a few months on this forum I noticed that it’s a tendency among college applicants to hire private coaches to help them with their monologues.

I was wondering how much are coaches helpful or if coaching leads to the monologues being too unnatural and/or over-rehearsed. Also what are the chances of being accepted without the help of coaching? Is it really necessary?
